Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | tablespoon | Vegetable oil | 
| 2 | teaspoons | Cumin or mustard seeds | 
| 2½ | cup | Potatoes cut into 3/4-inch pieces | 
| 1 | cup | Shredded green cabbage or up to twice as much | 
| ½ | teaspoon | Cumin powder | 
| 1½ | teaspoon | Coriander powder | 
| ½ | teaspoon | Turmeric powder | 
| ½ | teaspoon | Red chili powder | 
| 2 | tablespoons | Fresh cilantro, chopped | 
| ¾ | teaspoon | Lemon juice | 
| ¼ | cup | Tomatoes, chopped | 
Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add cumin or mustard seeds. Cook until seeds turn golden brown (for cumin) or gray (for mustard) and release their aroma, about 1 minute.  Seeds will "pop" as they cook. Watch seeds closely to be sure they don't overcook. 
Add potatoes into the skillet.  Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and continue cooking for 15 minutes.  Stir occasionally to prevent the potato mixture from sticking to skillet. 
Add cabbage and continue cooking until vegetables are semi-tender. Add spices and stir to evenly coat vegetables.  Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.  Stir in cilantro, lemon juice and tomatoes and serve immediately.
